"Grandfather, Chris has no other wish but for his sister to be well," came a young man's deep voice, filled with urgency and unease.
Jasmine's heart leapt at hearing the name 'Chris Fern'. It's a name she had never heard before.

Jasmine suddenly seemed to realise something!
In the darkness, her eyes widened in shock, her fingers clutching the wall tightly. Her lips moved but no sound came out.
